If you had ever wanted to to run multiple windows or apps on the same screen on your Android device but unable to do so maybe because your phone doesn't come with such features, this post is for you. I will show you how to split your phones screen to run two apps (creating windows) on same screen interface. Take for instance, you are reading this post on my blog and you will be typing on whatsapp or watching videos at the same time on the same screen without leaving this blog. Interesting right? There is an app that allow lets you achieve this. Continue reading.
Split-screen creator is an app that allows Android users to launch two apps in split-window mode automatically, instead of having to manually open one app, launch split-window mode and select a second app. In other words, Split-Screen allows you create multiple windows on your Android device just as it's in Samsung Galaxy S8 and Gionee M6.

Now, there a few drawbacks to this app. When you launch this app, the launcher icon is still visible. To remove this, you need to upgrade to the pro version. Also, Split-Screen Creator does its job by creating widgets, and there is also a widget to take you to the settings screen where you can hide it if you wish. To get started, you will need to add a widget on an open space in the Home screen. This will open a screen where you select the apps you want to make shortcuts for. Here you will find that if an app does not support it, Split-Screen Creator will not be able to create a shortcut for it. Thus, you need to have apps that support the multi-window function before you can create a split screen.

FEATURES
- Create unlimited shortcuts to automatically launch two apps in split-screen mode;
- Launch the same app in two different windows.
- Supports other app shortcuts;
- Icon pack support;
- Hide icon from home launcher;
Even then, the app is quite simple to use. Reportedly, you can even use the app to launch a multi-window mode shortcut for app and system shortcuts. Therefore, if you want to create a split-screen setup of launching the Chrome app, for example, and a shortcut that takes you to a specific setting on your phone, you can make it happen.

WILL IT WORK ON MY PHONE?

There’s another caveat. This app only works on supported launchers. However, it is unclear which launchers it supports, so you will have to find out if your launcher supports it. Remember this app will need Android Nougat installed in order to run
